ABOUT JEY

The 90s bags are back and I love it.

SHOP THE LOOK: BAG  / JEANS / BOOTS

Guys, I’ve been wearing the heck out of my black little bag by Topshop. It is made of nylon and the quality is good. Also, Topshop has a few 90s inspired bags that I‘ll share later with you.

Mini bags come in different colors, materials and styles, the most known styles are:

The Baguette Bag – is a handbag that is designed by Fendi. Nowadays, every little brand copies their style. 

The Pochette bag – When I think about this style, what comes into my mind is the Pochette Accessoires bag by Louis Vuitton. Pochettes are large purses.

The Hobo bag -This style has a half mooned shape which comes in leather or other materials. A very famous mini hobo bag which I know is this one by Prada. Btw, I think the bag I am carrying is a mix of pochette & hobo.

Many designers like Fendi and Dior reintroduced their infamous mini bags from the 90s or created new ones. Therefore, the price at the resale market immediately went up. Now, I am sad that I didn’t buy the bags when they were cheap. Moreover, the brand By Far even designed a ‘Rachel bag’ that is a homage to the character Rachel of Sex and the Cities. I’m sure that you all know that 00s show!

What fits into the tiny baguette bags?

I always carry my important things like a card purse, hand creme, chapstick, hand sanitizers and my keys. If you like to write on the go, you can fit in a little notebook (A5) and a pen. I would say these are your most important things that fit into the bag.

How to style the It-bag

I like to carry my mini bag on my shoulder, especially when I wear an oversized cardigan or a long coat. Furthermore, these bags go well with minimalist outfits.

My 90s mini bag wishlist

Lastly, I wanted to include a few bags that I’ve been eyeing for quite some time. Some are new and many are vintage finds which you can find on eBay, Vestiaire Collection or on other sites that sell authentic goods as well. Btw, I added bags from designer to high street brands.

SHOP THE LOOK:

Maybe, you’ve noticed that I am not much of a haul hoarder and like to style the things I already have. Furthermore, I like to shop for things I need in my wardrobe and sometimes for trendy stuff. But this time I wanted to share with you my black blazer with animal prints that has been in my closet for many years. It is actually a gift from my mother. I have it since I was a kiddo and it is not a joke ;-)! Before that, I used to hate it due to the animal print and the overall shape. And now I am appreciating it.

This blazer is something I would wear to festivities like a fancy Christmas dinner. The collar of the jacket and the buttons feature the animal print, also it is of mid-length. Plus, it has its matching dress which has the same prints. By the way, I don’t know the brand of this blazer but the quality feels really good and it held up all these years. Unfortunately, I only linked 2 blazers that look quite similar like the one I have on.

Furthermore, I styled a pair of ankle cut blue jeans with the vintage piece which goes wonderfully well together. This outfit can be worn with white pumps or if you prefer the more edgy look you can style it with black combat boots. 

Do you have vintage pieces in your wardrobe that you see in a new way?
